Technology So Good, We Have to Change Our Name!

dbx-tv processing has long enabled fantastic sound in televisions. We’ve extended that great performance to speakers & other electronics, but have a problem – ‘dbx-tv’ implies our processing is only for TVs, but it sounds too good to keep it away from other devices! We’re changing our name to Total Sonics, a better reflection of our audio expertise. Learn about Total Sonics’ award-winning speaker optimization algorithms, Total Cal room calibration system, and our history of excellence here!

The February 2024 issue of Voice Coil is now available, and it includes a major resource for all speaker designers and manufacturers, which is our annual Loudspeaker Cone and Dome Manufacturers Directory. In Test Bench, you can find characterizations of the new SEAS Excel T29X001 home audio tweeter, the first transducer to incorporate Composite Sounds' TPCD metamodal technology. The second driver in Test Bench is Eighteen Sound's latest 8NTLS2000 8" high-power handling woofer, for professional audio applications.

Originating in the 1980s, dbx-tv evolved to offer complete DSP audio enhancement solutions and is now called Total Sonics. Proud of its 40-year legacy of television audio excellence, the company embraced a broader mission to make any device with speakers deliver the best sound possible, even those with the tightest of design constraints. Total Sonics is headquartered outside Boston, with representation in Shanghai, Tokyo, and Seoul.
